Going to a Friend's House ESL Dialogue Practice

Activity Overview

Many customs differ from country to country. This activity allows students to practice their English along with the local customs expected when visiting a friend's house. Students will use the template provided to create a four cell storyboard that covers how to introduce yourself, how to make conversation, how to ask for help, and how to say goodbye. Students can practice their English and demonstrate their knowledge of the answers to these prompts by writing in the description boxes as well as including speech bubbles within their illustration. Afterwards, students can present their storyboards to the class adding a speaking component to the activity!
